European Master in Dynamics of Renewables-based Power Systems (DREAM) is a 2-year Master programme that offers multidisciplinary education in the dynamics and control of modern power systems. It responds to the European Commission expectations and objectives in increasing the share of renewable generation and reaching the energy and climate targets. It trains students to tackle in a new way the current and future challenges of smart power systems. Therefore, kernel knowledge from the fields of Power Systems, Smart Grids, Renewable Generation, Automatic Control and Power Electronics is combined to give to the students the opportunity to acquire a global “system view” of the dynamics of the next generation of power systems. Applications are welcome from all these fields. Teaching during the programme will bring together knowledge from these fields in order to promote a more integrated way of thinking, which is the holistic view in order to form multidisciplinary specialists trained for the new jobs and challenges of future power systems.
